I've never made meatloaf before (even the not-so-healthy kind), so I was a little worried about how this would turn out. I just knew I needed to get the pound of grassfed beef in my fridge cooked! I was in the mood for something different... so I took inventory of my fridge and threw together this little recipe. I was surprised at how good it turned out. Definitely one I'll make again!

If you're trying to cut back on white starches like white potatoes, this is a great alternative to mashed potatoes. The carrots and parsnips complement each other quite well -- the carrots add some sweetness and the parsnips give it a little spice.
